inspire my kids

Overheard my kids saying how they really liked the fact that I enjoy trying new things and experiences.

i hope a wide range of experiances is a good thing!

I’m hoping great ideas will rub off on me. I think thing one is to be inspired myself. No progress yet. I have a feeling if I would get started on my eating, exercise and meditation goals, all the pieces would fall into place.

To inspire them through travel, the best education.
To inspire them through kindness and through showing my curiosity and enthusiasm for life.

but he did it angrily….

I’m not going to stop talking to my 16-year old even though he’s been unbearable this past week with his attitude. I remember being unbearable when I was a teenager. I thought I wanted my family to leave me alone. Then they did and I felt terrible.

I am aware my kids learn much more from watching what I do than what I tell them. I am going to work on being less snapish with them. I hear them snap at each other and think “well, why wouldn’t they, they sound just like me”. This is one I can definitely work on and make some progress, soon.

Someone told me that going to Brazil to volunteer is admirable and a great example for my kids. It was a great compliment!

They really make me laugh and they have kind hearts. I do wish my 16-year old would get a job though…bless his kind heart… :)

My son is blowing off school and telling me education doesn’t get you anywhere, “you don’t need education if you have a good idea” I said, “Well, do you have a good idea?” I’m at a loss.
